You have to be a bit of a nerd to get it, but its funny nevertheless.



I’m currently running the latest version of GirlFriend and I’ve been
having some problems lately. I’ve been running the same version of
DrinkingBuddies 1.0 forever as my primary application, and all the
GirlFriend releases I’ve tried have always conflicted with it.

I hear that DrinkingBuddies won’t crash if GirlFriend is run in background
mode and the sound is turned off, but I’m embarrassed to say I can’t find
the switch to turn the sound off. I just run them separately, and it works
okay.

GirlFriend also seems to have a problem coexisting with my Golf program,
often trying to abort Golf with some sort of timing incompatibility.

I probably should have stayed with GirlFriend 1.0, but I thought I might
see better performance from GirlFriend 2.0. After months of conflicts and
other problems, I consulted a friend who has had experience with
GirlFriend 2.0. He said I probably didn’t have enough cache to run
GirlFriend 2.0, and eventually it would require a Token Ring to run
properly. He was right - as soon as I purged my cache, it uninstalled
itself.

Shortly after that, I installed GirlFriend 3.0 beta. All the bugs were
supposed to be gone, but the first time I used it, it gave me a virus
anyway. I had to clean out my whole system and shut down for a while.

I very cautiously upgraded to GirlFriend 4.0. This time I used a SCSI
probe first and also installed a virus protection program. It worked okay
for a while until I discovered that GirlFriend 1.0 was still in my system.
I tried running GirlFriend 1.0 again with GirlFriend 4.0 still installed,
but GirlFriend 4.0 has a feature I didn’t know about that automatically
senses the presence of any other version of GirlFriend and communicates
with it in some way, which results in the immediate removal of both
versions.

My friend upgraded to Wife 1.0, which he describes as a huge resource hog.
It has taken up all his space, so he can’t load anything else. One of the
primary reasons he decided to go with Wife 1.0 was because it came bundled
with FreeSexPlus. Well, it turns out the resource allocation module of
Wife 1.0 sometimes prohibits access to FreeSexPlus, particularly the new
Plug-Ins he wanted to try.

On top of that, Wife 1.0 came with MotherInLaw XL which has an automatic
pop-up feature he can’t turn off. I told him to try installing Mistress
1.0, but he said he heard if you try to run it without first uninstalling
Wife 1.0, Wife 1.0 will delete MSMoney files before doing the uninstall
itself. Then Mistress 1.0 won’t install anyway because of insufficient
resources.
